Overview
Hero Talents
- Aldrachi Reaver and Fel-Scarred are the new Hero Talent tree options.Aldrachi Reaver is currently very slightly ahead of Fel-Scarred in single-target scenarios, however it is significantly harder to play and therefor not worth the hassle for the majority of players.
- Art of the Glaive makes your Throw Glaive ability become Reaver's Glaive, an ability that is off global cooldown that allows you to to cast either one of two combinations of abilities to trigger a debuff on your current target and do additional damage
- Casting Blade Dance or Death Sweep after Reaver's Glaive into Chaos Strike or Annihilation makes you current target take 14% more damage by you for the next 20 seconds.
- Casting Chaos Strike or Annihilation first after throwing your Reaver's Glaive will make your target take 4% more damage by you for the next 20 seconds and make your next Blade Dance or Death Sweep do additional damage.
- Additional to that after casting one of these two combinations you will get the Thrill of the Fight buff, which increases your attack speed and overall damage done by 20% for the next 10 seconds
- The Fel-Scarred talent tree is generally more passive than the Aldrachi Reaver talent tree, Monster Rising it is a bit counter intuitive as on one hand, it enhances your abilities during Metamorphosis turning Eye Beam into Abyssal Gaze, Sigil of Flame into Sigil of Doom and Immolation Aura into Consuming Fire making them look fancy on your bar.
- On the other hand however the tree has talents like Monster Rising, Burning Blades and Enduring Torment that significantly increase your output out of Metamorphosis.
- Generally I would highly recommend to play this talent tree as it almost does the same damage as Aldrachi Reaver with way less effort, which allows you to focus on more important stuff than dealing damage.
- Make sure to use your Sigil of Flame, Immolation Aura and Eye Beam before using Metamorphosis as Violent Transformation resets those abilities.
Talents
Gameplay Altering Talents
Discover all talents that significantly alter your gameplay within the Spec and Class Talent trees. This section gives a concise overview of these talents and their applications but for a more detailed look check out the Rotation and Deep Dive sections below.
Spec Tree

- Glaive Tempest
- Small AoE nuke around yourself.

Rotation
Tier Set
- 2-Set: Blade Dance deals 20% increased damage.
- 4-Set: Chaos Strike deals 20% increased damage, and has a 25% chance to reset the cooldown of Blade Dance and reduce its Fury cost by 50%
Single-Target
Opener
- The Havoc Demon Hunter's opener is very complex and it is important that you do it in this exact order to maximize your damage output.
- The goal of this opener is to maximize your damage output in the first 30 seconds of the fight and maximizing the uptime of all your buffs and utilizing the Demonsurge buff properly.
- If your 4set proccs make sure to always instantly utilize your proccs and cast Death Sweep as much as possible during your Metamorphosis.
Priority List
This is a general priority you aim to maintain throughout the fight.
- Cast Immolation Aura
- Cast Sigil of Flame if your Eye Beam is about to be ready
- Cast Eye Beam on cooldown
- Cast Fel Rush if Unbound Chaos buff is up
- Cast Vengeful Retreat on cooldown
- Cast Essence Break on cooldown
- Cast The Hunt on cooldown
- Cast Death Sweep
- Cast Annihilation
- Cast Blade Dance
- Cast Chaos Strike
- Cast Felblade
- Cast Fel Rush if everything else is on cooldown and you have no fury

Deep dive
Dead or Alive
The most important part of doing damage and being a useful part of your group is staying alive. With movement being a core part of your damage rotation you NEED to always be aware of your surroundings. Do not Fel Rush or Vengeful Retreat into frontal abilities or area of effect zones.
You cannot do damage while you are dead and neither can you stop abilities from going through.
Being able to execute the perfect rotation isn't going to help you if you are lying dead on the floor or if you need externals/healing that your tank would need otherwise.
Immolation Aura
Manage your Immolation Aura charges properly as it is the biggest portion of your damage breakdown in AoE scenarios. When you are about to overcap on charges but you don't have Fel Rush charges ready to spend on Inertia uptime just use your Immolation Aura charges and ignore Inertia.
Never overcap on Immolation Aura charges, no matter what!
Initiative Windows
Another important part of your damage is managing your Initiative windows properly. Remember that every single hostile enemy procs Initiative and Vengeful Retreat also resets it on EVERY hostile enemy.
You can optimize this by staying out of range of some enemies to procInitiative again later.
Haste ?!
Even though Haste Sims pretty poorly on paper, it is a great stat for multi target scenarios as it smooths your gameplay out by a lot.
Haste increases the amount of Immolation Aura charges you have as it decreases the recharge time and helps with Fury generation as well as helping you fit more abilities into your Demonic windows.
Understanding Mechanics
Rotational min-maxing is just one aspect of mastering a specialization, but there are numerous other key mechanics that influence your performance. Use the following guides to improve them.

Trinkets
Below you can find active and passive alternatives to our recommended trinkets. Do note that some trinkets are better than others depending on the mythic+ dungeon.
Active Trinket alternatives
- Skardyn's Grace
- On use mastery trinket with baseline mainstat, synergizes very well with the Havoc Demon Hunter 2 minute bursty profile
- Treacherous Transmitter
- 1.5 minute on use that doesnt really fit into the profile of Havoc Demon Hunter but nevertheless is very strong, but hard to play
- Mad Queen's Mandate
- 2 minute on use trinket that does massive damage, synergizes well with the high crit chance of Havoc Demon Hunter and the Initiative talent
Passive Trinket alternatives
- Ara-Kara Sacbrood
- Strongest passive trinket choice, gives you baseline haste and a high amount of mainstat with high uptime
- Dead-Eye Spyglass
- Second best passive trinket, gives mainstat passively and substantially increases your critical strike chance on a proc basis
- Void Reaper's Contract
- passive damage proc trinket, does low damage currently but might possibly get tuned, synergizes well with the raid weapon if you can get your hand on it
Embellishments
- 2x Dawnthread Lining
- It is a good choice if you have over 80% health most of the time and during your cooldowns.
- The optimal slots to craft on are Wrists, Boots, Waist, or Cloak depending on your available gear.
Honorable mention
- Darkmoon Sigil: Ascension
- Darkmoon Sigil: Vivacity
- Blessed Weapon Grip
Remaining Sparks
- Crafted items are 636 item level and regular items are 636 on max item level, therefore, it's not beneficial to equip crafted items outside of your 2x embellishments unless you don't have access to other high item level gear on that slot.

Races
For min-maxing a Havoc Demon Hunter in Mythic+, different racial traits can provide a tremendous benefit to your characters. If this is not your top goal, picking a race that fits your style works just as well.
- Shadowmeld -- Nightelf
- Provides nothing in Raid, but can be useful in Mythic+ in very niche situations.
- Arcane Torrent -- Bloodelf
- Removes 1 beneficial effect from hostile targets around you.
- Generates 15 Fury.
Recommendation
It does not really matter which Race you chose for Havoc Demon Hunter, as both provide about the same DPS benefits, it is however advised to go Bloodelf as Arcane Torrent might come in handy in some situations where you need a quick AoE purge and can be used to gain 15 Fury while you are out of range of any target in combat.
